L-TEK P100 portable laser (TDLAS) remote methane leak detector, up to 50 m
Country: United Kingdom · Model: L-TEK P100
The L-TEK P100 laser detector finds methane leaks remotely, at 20 m in the standard version and up to 50 m in the extended one. The 320 g unit is taken on rounds of gas pipelines, gas regulator stations, building gas entries, boiler houses and process plants in the oil, chemical and mining industries and the urban gas sector.

Description
The detector works by the TDLAS method (tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy) and determines the concentration of methane and methane-containing gases from the absorption of radiation at characteristic wavelengths. The inspector does not approach the hazardous spot and does not climb to facade and above-ground sections of the gas pipeline, so the survey goes faster. The 138×49×35 mm unit is held in one hand, and the instrument rarely needs calibration. The operating temperature is from −20 to +50 °C, humidity up to 98 % without condensation, protection IP54, and the laser belongs to a safe class. For gas distribution companies in Ukraine it is a tool for quick surveys of external and in-building gas pipelines.
How to choose
The version is chosen by the required distance. The standard 20 m is enough for gas regulator stations, boiler houses and house entries, while the extended version up to 50 m is needed on above-ground crossings and facade gas pipelines that cannot be approached. The detector measures methane only, so for monitoring the air in manholes and collectors for several gases a portable gas detector is needed, for example the Gas-Pro for up to 5 gases or the T4 at 282 g.
